If you have not lost a child then you do not have any right to talk. I have. In Jan. 2004. We will never ever get over that. I miss her every minute of every day. I see something on tv or hear something and I want to turn around to tell her. People who lose children never get over that but they have to go on. That is what they would want.

I see you seek the truth, not just the Fred Thompson WWW sites that these "Fred Heads" (GOP pushed and orchestrated, sic. GWB Martinez et al). Please see my post 62 from NumbersUSA.com which references and sums up Fred's views on immigration, legal and illegal.

(GOP pushed and orchestrated, sic. GWB Martinez et al)The man is the reincarnation* of GWB, It looks like Freddy Kruger might return after all. See my post number 58 which lists only ONE page turned up on GOOGLE (there were a heck of a lot more) showing George Prescott Bush and other BUSH hacks have joined the Thompson campaign. Then again Fred isn't running Hahaha.

It’s one thing to check out websites that tell you Fred’s point of view. But why not let Fred himself tell you?

For the commentaries, you can click on the link and hear him read it in his own voice if you prefer.

Here is his commentary on the senate bill:

Here is part of a speech that addresses the problem:

Here is a Fox News Interview that deals with the issue:

And here’s a little commentary of Fred’s on how he feels about the policies of the Mexican government:

Lying again.

Those are NOT “all” relating to illegal aliens. Most do not, in fact.

OK Many relate to Illegal Aliens and also to Legal Immigrants - most of FREDs votes being on the WRONG side in either case. Guess you lied.

You might be right, but, I think it was a lite humored attempt in this article to see it from the “ street point of view “

He has already stated in ( I saw 2 of his speeches on C-Span ) in 2 of his speeches that before we can do anything else, we need to secure the borders first, then, work on the other problems with immigration.

In part, he left because of the death of his daughter, and he was disillusioned with the way things were in Washington.
If anything, he set a example of the way things should be, serve 2 terms and leave.... we don't need career ( Kennedy ) Senators and Congressmen.

Some would have you see make it so that you see the gray area between ( Legal Immigration ) and ( Illegal Immigration ) the MSM/Liberals/and those who bash Fred want to misinform you on that.
There is a difference between Legal ( going through the process ) immigration, and illegal immigration.
Political Mom ? don't let them ruffle your feathers, either they have selective hearing, or selective telling semi half truths facts in order to misinform people.
Ok,,, those who don't comprehend, we are for LEGAL immigration, not ILLEGAL immigration.
Do we need to spell it out for you ?
Legal immigration is spelled : L-E-G-A-L .... I-M-M-I-G-R-A-T-I-O-N and Illegal immigration is spelled : I-L-L-E-G-A-L....I-M-M-I-G-R-A-T-I-O-N..... got it now ?
Maybe ? there are those who resent legal immigration also ?
if we were to look at our history, we are made of a nation of immigrants.
